Just go with it. Don't take this series seriously. Most things about it are in the realms of ridiculousness.
However, it's binge worthy stuff. Whether it's Idris Elba's coolness under pressure and sheer screen magnetism or the constant surprises and cliff hangers, you just can't enough of this stuff.
This series does what it says on the tin. It's a hijack. But there are different layers of story waiting to unfold.
There are a few irritants such as some of the miscast hijackers and irritating passengers and yes Elba is constantly to cool for school.
But on the most part this feels like a pretty original of stupid idea which draws you in and refuses to let you leave.
Try it and let it hijack you.
